My AD told me that polishing my Crosswind comes extra above a full service. Is this true? I thought with a full service they always polish the watch
He told me full service is 400 euro (560USD) and polishing the watch is 175 euro (250USD).

I do not know the Dutch translation for BullS#%T, but I would find out if I were you. That is complete crap!

Well, that was my honest reply also to the man, but in better words 
I told him it should be included in a full service, but he told me that wasn't true. So i left the building some what confused 
He is the only AD around so far...what to do? |

As far as i know, Breitling don't "work" with end users. Everything has to go trough an AD. Ah well, i will tell him that Breitling told me its all inclusive, hopefully he admits his fault. |

In today's financial climate he should be happy to get your business. Where in NL are you located? I only visited one AD in Utrecht so far. |

BUK told me that a polish was all part of a full service. |

2 different ADs wanted either £70 or £300 for a service on my Aerospace - guess which one I used? They don't know everything - and some know nothing! I would call Breitling in the Netherlands: NETHERLANDS Official Distributor BREITLING NEDERLAND - M. KOSTER & ZONEN POSTBUS 340 1170 AH BADHOEVEDORP info@breitling.nl Tel +31-(0)20-6596453 / Fax +31-(0)20-6595520 If they are as helpful as BUK they will be great and maybe even save you some money! |

Well, they helped me alot!! I called them and they told me that it was only from october 2008 that polishing is included in a full service. Rather strange answer, i think, because i thought it was way earlier. But they give me a price indication and i am happy with it. Hopefully others from Holland can use it.

Hmmmmm, well maybe the Breitling Netherlands are different because I had my Le Man serviced about 6 months ago at BUK and there was no question of a polish not being included. Just as an aside, in my experience it's better to deal with Breitling direct instead of going via an AD. For example I send all my watches in to Breitling myself and cut the AD out of the loop completely. |

I'll keep that in mind once I need a service. Was it every two years minor maintenace and every 5 years a ful service? |
